Today, platinum-selling rock juggernaut P.O.D. shared the video for their new single, “DROP,” out now via Mascot Records. The track features a vicious vocal cameo from Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe.
“‘DROP’ is another one of a kind, unparalleled banger that sets this band apart from everyone else,” says vocalist Sonny Sandoval. “When you hear it, you know it’s P.O.D.!”
They’ve been a band — and a vital one at that — for more than 30 years. But ask rock icons P.O.D. what still inspires them after all this time, and they’ll tell you they still operate as if they’re perpetual underdogs. Yes, with every new album they release, with every show they play, these musical lifers still feel they have something to prove. “We’re still here and we’re still creating some of the best music we’ve ever made,” says guitarist Marcos Curiel. “When it comes to heart, grit and soul, P.O.D. is your band.” Adds vocalist Sonny Sandoval:
“We’re always still proving who we are — always having that punk-rock mentality.”
It’s this mindset, this unrelenting grit that has long defined the platinum-selling P.O.D. and continues to do so as they march proudly into the next era of their long-winding journey of a career. Now, they are nearly five years removed from their previous studio album, Circles, which spawned the hit “Listening to Silence.” Now, as the band returns in with new single, fans can’t wait to hear what’s next.
The track is a sonic boom of a cut, and features a thrilling vocal turn from Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe. “Dude, it’s the sickest thing ever,” guitarist Marcos Curiel says of “DROP,” which was inspired by the guitarist’s longtime love of electronic music. “When that drop hits, everyone knows it,” he adds. “We needed to create a song in that way…P.O.D. style.”
